Even the LNP living bible is exhalting the Labor Party for a surplus.... something the LNP couldn't do.




At least one state is bucking the trend

Unless you are being naive again, Campbell Newman went to the election seeking voters approval to sell or lease assets to pay off Labor's bad debt of $80 billion left by Beattie and Bligh...You and Rumpy have very short memories.

Labor and the unions put out a lot of propaganda during the election campaign and some stupid voters fell for it....We still have a massive debt which Palaszczuk has not reduced because she said she would not sell our assets.....She is now selling assets (unrequired land) and the debt has not been reduced. ......Th income from profit producing assets doesn't even cover the interest on the bad debt.

How much of that $4 billion from the super fund raid did they spend on infrastructure...I hope they send $2 billion up to Townsville to pay for the new dam at Hell's Gates....The water supply for Townsville which they have sadly neglected for 2 decades.

When leaders led

Yes and the two major leaders we currently have walk beside each other...Hand in hand to destroy our economy...Both need to go.

I, for once, now and then, agree with you...We do not have a good leader on either sides of current politics who are prepared to tackle the essentials.....All they want to talk about is gay marriage.....Climate Change .....Human rites......Nauru and Manus...... Freedom of speech and lots of other crap.
 

Quite true, but I doubt if we agree on the type of leader that can lead us out of this mess. I'd say you want a Cold War Warrior like Bjelke Petersen, I want a pragmatist like Keating.

I hope there is another Keating out there somewhere.

People will still go for the frontier ride, if only for change and opportunity for change. Strength of character and purpose is a great opiate for the masses:

 

Why would they want to talk about things like the TPP. Or what will Australia be like once the oil, gas and ore runs dry and that innovation boom hasn't gotten round to since not many stupid kids can afford a proper privatised education.

So it's football, crickets, titties and who should marry whom before the Muslims take over the world and destroy our Christian values.

Yep Oliver told em where to go allright.

I've always wondered how Queensland got away with abolishing the Legislative Council and why other States haven't done the same

Yeah it doesn't seem to miss that appendage. Queensland was one of those places where the squattocracy and pastoralists had too much old boy influence in an already cronyistic state. The council members had jobs for life after serving a 5 year apprenticeship and they kept being bloody minded obstructionist to the Labor lower house.

The successive Labor Govts tried a few ways of getting rid of it, finally getting the Governor to add more seats to the council so they could be filled by Labor cronies, who eventually did the deed after much odd behaviours and missing in actions of the membership.
 
I cannot believe the SA Labor Premier is thinking of going it alone in introducing a carbon tax and stating it would lower the price of electricity.

Jay Weatherill must surely have rocks in his head after the recent events in that state......That state is becoming a cot case.

MALCOLM Turnbull had some harsh words for South Australia’s premier Jay Weatherill’s after he suggested the states could go it alone on a carbon scheme for the electricity sector.

SA Premier Jay Weatherill told ABC radio on Thursday he’ll be pressing for states to team up on their own scheme “in the absence of national leadership”.

Premier Weatherill will be discussing the idea with his counterparts ahead of Friday’s Council of Australian Governments meeting in Canberra.

A report by Chief Scientist Alan Finkel to be presented at the COAG meeting is expected to recommend an emissions intensity scheme.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull scoffed at Mr Weatherill’s plan, pointing to the South Australian blackout as an example of the Premier’s own track record with energy recently.

“The SA Government has delivered a double whammy of not being able to keep the lights on and having the most expensive electricity in Australia,” Mr Turnbull told 3AW radio.
 
Annastacia Palaszxzuk is two faced when it comes to 457 visas for foreign workers...

She demands the Adami coal project only employs Australian workers and yet her state Labor Government is the highest state in Australia when engaging in 457 visas.

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/...a/news-story/f5362e138aac8cda441a76e399b9a375


THE Palaszczuk Government has privately sponsored more foreign workers than any other state government, while publicly trumpeting it had secured an all-Australian workforce for the Adani project.

In a case of “do as we say and not as we do”, it can be revealed the State Government is the largest government sponsor of 457 visas in Australia — third behind two major international companies. The fourth and fifth largest sponsors are also private companies.

Tightly held data obtained by The Courier-Mail reveals Queensland Health was the largest sponsor with 999 overseas workers on 457 visas.

The news comes as the Australian Medical Association said yesterday Australia had “more than enough” *doctors to meet long-term needs, and no longer required medical 457 workers.
 

Interesting how a blue riband Liberal Party newspaper quotes the most militant union in the country to add weight to its usual attacks on anything to do with the working classes. Isn't there more than doctors in the qld health?

I don't like the hassle of dealing with the innumerable number of Indian now running QLD health from engineering through to the carers. It became a tsunami under the LNP premier Newman as I recall.
 
Say what Tisyou?

Courier Mail riband liberal?

A reed in the wind more likely.
 

My oh my...How the truth hits a nerve in you lefties...You just cannot take it can you?

Well Rumpy, here is your answer and I thought you would have been astute enough to have done your homework before opening your mouth but you seem to have habit of putting foot in it instead.

You see Rob Borbridge (LNP) wanted to have a referendum on it to bring back the upper house .......you know, give the people a democratic say, but do you know who squashed it all........Ah yes you guessed it right...It was your beloved Labor Party......What do you know?

http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/que...per-house-independent-mps-20131123-2y2ni.html

During the 1995 election campaign, Mr Borbidge pushed for a referendum on reinstalling Queensland's upper house.

“At present the Parliament is a joke. It is not working properly. The committee system is not working properly and accountability is a charade. It might not be this way if there was a House of Review,” he said at the time.

Labor MPs did not support the calls for a referendum.
 

Good on Borbidge. Where is he now ?
